Casa Susanna, the property's Mexican restaurant helmed by Chef Efrén Hernández, offers a seasonal menu focused on fresh produce, a natural wine program led by local wine savant Byron Bates, and a selection of cocktails and fermented drinks utilizing house made tinctures, seasonal jarred ingredients and garnishes from the property's own greenhouse.
